Almondell Park Visitor Centre – Pastel on textured paper
Another experiment to see if complementary colours could be used for a worthwhile scene. I used a piece of textured watercolour paper and lightly applied some blue pastel creating a lightly mottled effect for the background. The rest of the picture was finished by applying orange details with a wet brush transferring the pastel to the paper. The true colours do not show here as my scanner has a mind of its own e.g. the white of the paper has turned to yellow and these colours are different in real life. Another reason might be that its hard to get true colours, from my limited range of pastels, which form true complimentary pairs. Must try the same thing again using watercolours as I think the experiment has possibilities.

We took Elle camping this weekend, down a meandering dirt road ribbed with washboard to a quiet reservoir, plunked in the middle of ranching country, beneath the silhouette of Lone Cone.
There were no big plans. We brought a fishing rod and a little inflatable raft and a yellow plastic bucket. We didn't hike, or bike, or stray too far from the shoreline where we had parked our dusty camp trailer when we rolled in on Friday night. Elle waded in the water and piled dirt in her plastic bucket; we floated around in our little raft just a few feet from shore, built campfires, and ate French toast and strawberries for breakfast.
Watching Elle from my shady vantage point, as she studied the elaborate dimensions of a yarrow's bloom, I vowed to carry this tranquil camping tone into our life at home. The most important parts of camping life, at least, like eating breakfast together and asking for things nicely and making plans to make no plans. The part where we take a minute to watch our daughter explore the world blossoming around her.
I carefully carried this serene camping air home with us on Sunday, tiptoeing around the seeming inescapable aspects of life that tend to make us feel rushed and short-tempered. I baked cookies with Elle that rainy afternoon, in lieu of doing the laundry. I took a nap, curled up with the scent of Elle's reservoir-bathed hair, rather than unpacking. We snuggled on the couch and went to bed early, after our dessert of home-baked chocolate chip cookies and milk. I even left the spent cookie sheets in the sink.
Then it was Monday.
We woke up late, but instead of rolling out of bed to make French toast we could only manage to fill a bowl with the powdery remains of a box of cereal before things like work and daycare – and the associated packing of lunches, locating of raincoats, and forgetting of cell phones – necessitated we move at a faster pace. A Monday pace, which is twice as fast as a weekend pace and three times more rushed than a weekend camping pace.
To fight the brisk flow of Monday morning would, I told myself as I quietly hurried Elle to daycare before circle time started (to no avail), go against the universal nature of all things related to Monday. To try and alter this harried beginning-of-the-work-week tide would likely create more strain than simply surrendering to its momentum. We will (this is what I told myself) return to the tranquil tempo of camp life as soon as we rode out this raging rapid that is Monday Morning.
Settling into the benches at The House (as in A Tavern) Monday evening with a glass of wine, I felt like perhaps now we could all slow down again. I'll just change this diaper right quick, busy Baby Elle, then we can both get back to what we were doing – me, sipping wine and Elle, doing her baby work.
I've done it a thousand times, the Standing Diaper Change. It entails the quick tearing off of the slightly wet diaper, the surgical positioning of a new dry one, all before the ice cube you just dropped into your pinot grigio has had time to melt. No biggie.
Except this Monday, Elle was still in the camp life frame of mind, which for a one-and-a-half year old means that as soon as that diaper comes off you squat for Nature Pee. I applaud her dedication to potty training, don't get me wrong, I just had hoped she would have realized that there was a difference between peeing in the dirt at a campsite and peeing on the floor of a restaurant.
Attempting to halt the encroaching feeling of being frazzled at my daughter's misunderstanding of the "nature" part of Nature Pee, I calmly sopped up the puddle, good as new! Elle's pants were wet, but, c'est la vie. No big deal.
Our dinner arrives. Excited about the chopped tomatoes on my salad, Elle grabs a handful – but they are apparently not what she was looking for after all, letting them fall from her mouth onto the table. No biggie, that's what baby wipes are for. She then shoves a too-big quarter of hard-boiled egg in her mouth, gags, spits it out on the floor. I put down my fork, clean up the egg. She takes another quarter, and before I can stop her, has plopped it into a houseplant.
"Elle, come sit next to Dada, we'll have some French fries." As I clean up, Craig attempts to contain the chaos of a child accustomed to eating meals strapped into a high chair. Or sitting on the ground at a campsite. "Here's some ketchup…"
Alas, I am too late to tell him that Elle has very recently begun to love ketchup too ardently. As in grab full handfuls of it, forgoing any kind of vehicle to transport it to her mouth. Ketchup is very difficult to keep within the fist of a toddler, on the journey from plate to mouth.
I am happy I have brought a full package of baby wipes. We have nearly expended the contents of our table's napkin dispenser, I notice, just before noticing that Baby Elle is sucking ketchup off one of the now flimsy ketchup-coated napkins we have used to clean her.
Does ketchup count as dinner? Could a paper napkin be considered a vegetable, coming as it does from a tree? Should we tell our friend Steph, who comes to our rescue mid-meal by picking up a straying Elle, that the reason her hip feels wet is because she's holding a child who just peed her pants?
These are the questions I ask myself as I struggle to find time to drink my glass of pinot grigio – forget about finishing the salad – while acting as the frowning, frazzled dispensary of baby wipes-cum-restaurant cleaning cloths.
While checking the plant for stray egg yolks and the floor for errant ketchup-napkins, all the while hoping Elle is still in the building, I am struck by the memory of my pledge to carry the tranquil pace of camping life back home. It is, I must confess to myself, not always possible to live frazzle-free with a child. I manage to wipe all the ketchup smears from the table with the last wipes in the package (I believe we started with 80) and locate my daughter, who has found her way to the deck.
From my vantage point standing in the doorway leading to the deck, I watch as Baby Elle gives "knuckles" to a group of total strangers; making the rounds with her chubby fist pointed outward like Super Woman, unself conscious, carefree and totally not frazzled.
I start out the door to snatch her up, then stop myself. The tempo of camp life may be impossible to recreate at home, or at The House, but I can at least hold onto the important parts of it. Like taking a minute to watch my daughter, who is now playing peek-a-boo with strangers and giggling the pure, uninhibited giggle of a kid completely unconcerned about tempo or time.

I need coffee; I love tea.
I have been learning about tea since I was a teenager, but joining Steepster has accelerated my education.
I gave up soda (completely) this Spring and have re-discovered tea to fill the afternoon void.
I like strong, well balanced tastes. I ferment my own mead, cider, and sauerkraut.
I like green tea, oolong, black tea, flavored black tea, pu-erh, and some tisanes! Oh, and Mate, too!
Lately, I have been most enjoying nutty green teas and oolong teas.

Duck Confit Part 2: Crisp and Sauce
6 comments:
Thanks for all your great recipes. I love visiting your site. In the Duck Confit Pt 2 video, you don't mention the heat level when crisping the duck. Should it be on medium? or high? Or low...? Thanks!
- November 27, 2010 at 1:46 PM
- Chef John said...
Maybe medium. Med-high.
- November 27, 2010 at 4:52 PM
Great thank you! :D
- December 5, 2010 at 4:23 PM
Hi Chef John - couple of questions about this:
1) When you remove from the fridge the next day, do you let it come up to room temperature before crisping? Or just straight to the pan?
2) Do you do 6 - 7 minutes on each side? Or do you just crisp the skin side and then plate?
Thanks so much!!
- December 4, 2011 at 11:29 PM
- Chef John said...
Can go into the pan cold. Yes, cook both sides.
- December 4, 2011 at 11:53 PM

Not sure what happened, had three leg quartres in the oven at 225 for 2 hours and 15 minutes. I pulled them out of the foil and they looked like they didn't go in the oven at all.
I'll just brown them and finish in the oven.

We were recently given the opportunity to try out Telebrands Bake Pop pan. We had some really good friends over for Super Bowl so I decided to make up the Bake Pops as a treat. My friend Christa is an amazing baker so she was really excited to help. We had so much fun using the Telebrands Bake Pop Pan. I can't wait to make more Bake Pops soon.
We made confetti Bake Pops. It was really easy to fill the pan and get the bake pops ready.
The Bake Pop pan is super easy to use. You just place the top on it and clip it on the sides.
I like that you can test if your bake pops are done easily with the holes at the top of the pan.
The Bake Pops baked perfectly. They were so easy to get out of the pan and let cool.
Once the bake pops cooled down we used the Bake Pop pan as a holding station. We put candy melt on the sticks and let them harden inside the bake pops
So they were easy to work with. The bake pop pan was perfect for holding the pops while the candy melt hardened
Once we dipped the bake pops in the candy melt we used the Bake Pop pan as a drying station. It worked great using the openings to hold the bake pops
These bake pops were a huge hit. John took them to work and everyone loved them. I am already thinking of fun variations to try next time.
You can find out more about Telestrand Bake Pops on their Website Here. They are also on Facebook
We were provided with a Bake Pop pan to help facilitate my review. All opinions expressed are my own.

"Beautiful invites. I ordered these for my 3 year old's birthday party. I selected rounded edges for a more customized effect. The cards are vibrant and beautifully done with very nice card stock quality. I love tiny prints. Consistent quality."
"This card was so cute! I really liked that I could add my sons picture and it was really easy to create the card. The picture makes it a nice keepsake for family. I received many compliments. The order arrived much earlier than the estimated arrival date so that made it even better!"
"I'm so happy with these invitations. The animals on it are so cute. The paper is really thick. The quality is just great. The delivery was also very quick. I liked how I could write a little note on the back of the card."
"My son would not put down this card when we opened the box! He loved seeing himself pictured with all the bugs. The colors are bright, so I used the sepia effect on the two outer photos. It made my dominant pic stand out more."
"I really liked the design of the card. The background images were fun without being too babyish for my 6 year old's party. The only thing i would have liked was more room to write on the front of the invitation. Luckily I was able to add the address of the location to the back of the invite, so it wasn't that big of a deal."

I started to strip the paint off the half-door I put up about a month ago, when I finally got so fed up with my baby gate that I threw it in the trash. The half door (like a Dutch door, but with only the bottom half) is doing its job wonderfully — keeping the kitchen and my sewing room closed off from toddlers — but it's not very pleasing to the eye. It was salvaged from an old full door we replaced a while back. It didn't look very good when we took it down to begin with, and the subsequent weeks out in the elements and in the back of my husband's SUV only made it worse. So now it's a chipped, nails-showing, crooked (either due to the hinges or the door frame itself, still working on that one) — but fully functional — mess. Not worthy of showcasing in print until it's complete.
When I realized the paint-stripping process of the half door was going to take at least a kid-free weekend (the container says it's "safer" but that's not safe enough for me. Also, my husband frowned upon my scraping paint while cooking dinner), I switched to Plan B: straw bale gardening.
I mentioned straw, or hay, bale gardening a few columns back — I learned about it in my new composting book. Even though my big garden is located off-site from my house this year, I still want to have some herbs, lettuce and vegetables at home so they'll always be on hand. My kids are crazy about tomatoes — they each ate one whole, like an apple, earlier this week while we were shopping at B&B — so Thursday afternoon I picked up two straw bales, a pot of parsley and three tomato plants (Golden Jubilee, Cherokee Purple and an Orange Stripey) from Downing's. As I started to dig a hole in the bale to start planting, two things happened: I broke the blade off my only trowel and it started to rain. And it continued to rain until well after dark. There went Plan B, and you're reading Plan C.
I am the queen of half projects. Although my straw bales will be planted, eventually, there's no telling when, especially since now I have to go buy a new trowel. Luckily they are supposed to get a good soaking and sit for a week or so to start to decompose, anyway.
The half door will one day be completely done — kid-friendly chalkboard paint and all — but since it works just fine the way it is, it can stay that way until I find someone brave enough to keep my kids long enough for me to finish it.
Even as I write this, I'm in my halfway newly configured sewing room, sitting at a table littered with boxes, books and half-unraveled skeins of yarn, thanks to a playful new kitty (aka child distractor). I started to rearrange and clean the room last weekend, but was interrupted for some reason or another — I think a nap ended early, and my kids can destroy my sewing room in a matter of minutes, so I try and keep them out of there.
Not that it really matters anyway — the windows of my house have been open all week and now there's a nice green coat of pollen on everything. Annoying, but well worth the fresh air.
I gardened some — weeding and thinning, arranging soaker hoses, pulling splinters from little exploring hands and having fun watering the plants and kids. But peppers, tomatoes and all the summer melons still need to be planted. And the kids still need to learn that they can't pull up all the pretty little plants ... until they are ready to eat, at least.
I even managed to put together some new beds for the kids, and in the process was reminded that I need to fix a drawer and all the drawer pulls on my daughter's dresser ...
Anyone want to baby-sit?

text: No question about it: The locavore movement has legs. But the latest beneficiaries of its farm-to-table tenets are still on all fours. A new Brooklyn-based baby food purveyor, Farm to Baby, has teamed up with responsible farmers in upstate New York, eastern Long Island, and western New Jersey to select fresh, seasonal produce for use in their recipes. Weekly menus vary with the crop — recent offerings have included kabocha squash, kale, Romanesco broccoli, and celeriac, in addition to local varieties of sweet potatoes, apples, and greens. The purees are crafted by hand, foregoing the extra cooking, processing, and preservatives that hamper the nutritional value of store-bought baby food. (There's no need, when the lag time between farm and your family is less than two days.) Lucky first-foodies in Manhattan and Brooklyn get deliveries twice a week. Here's hoping the idea catches on and spreads to other cities. Photo: Courtesy of Farm to Baby NYC

Alexandria, Va. - May 9, 2012
Capping off a successful three-day meeting that brought hundreds of independent community pharmacists to Washington, DC for the National Community Pharmacists Association's (NCPA) Legislative Conference, today members of Congress joined pharmacists at the Capitol to push for three pending bills that create a fairer system that preserves patient access to the pharmacy of their choice.
Speakers at the rally included Senator Mark Pryor (D-AK)—original sponsor of the Pharmacy Competition and Consumer Choice Act (S. 1058); Representative Tom Marino (R-PA)—original sponsor of the Preserving Our Hometown Independent Pharmacies Act (H.R. 1946); Representative Peter Welch (D-VT)—original sponsor of the Medicare Access to Diabetes Supplies Act (H.R. 1936); Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS); Representative Judy Chu (D-CA), Representative Ruben Hinojosa (D-TX), NCPA CEO B. Douglas Hoey, RPh, MBA; Wolkar Drug owner Brian Caswell, RPh; and Grubbs Care Pharmacy owner Michael Kim, RPh.
"Independent community pharmacists offer vital health care services to millions of patients across America that could be compromised without passage of S. 1058, H.R. 1946, and H.R. 1936," said Hoey. "These common-sense, bipartisan bills will rein in some of the most egregious behavior of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs); help level contract negotiations between PBMs and pharmacies; and ensure seniors can continue receiving essential diabetes testing supplies and face-to-face counseling from their local pharmacies."
Hoey added, "After our rally we will flood the halls of Congress to deliver our message, spurred on by the support we are receiving from Senator Pryor, and Representatives Marino and Welch. They know independent community pharmacies are often in underserved rural and urban communities, and the bills they are championing will ensure the continuum of health care is preserved in those and other communities."
During the previous two days Legislative Conference attendees heard from a bevy of Congressional and Obama Administration officials during speeches and panel discussions. Representatives Dave Camp (R-MI), Frank Pallone (D-NJ), and Aaron Schock (R-IL); along with Senators Jerry Moran (R-KS), Al Franken (D-MN), and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) addressed the Conference. Jonathan Blum, Deputy Administrator and Director, Center for Medicare, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; and Colonel George E. Jones, Jr. PharmD, Deputy Chief, Pharmaceutical Operations Directorate, TRICARE Management Activity; also spoke. In addition there were panels on the Federal Trade Commission's PBM-related decisions, efforts to combat pharmacy crimes and the challenges facing long-term care providers. Another highlight was a comprehensive media briefing with NCPA's leadership team and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), who is co-chair of the Community Pharmacy Caucus.
"The Legislative Conference certainly achieved its goal of providing our members an opportunity to both hear from and advocate with members of Congress," said Hoey. "They know the best way to address the questionable business practices of the PBM industry is through grassroots activism in support of pro-patient reforms."
The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA®) represents the interests of America's community pharmacists, including the owners of more than 23,000 independent community pharmacies. Together they represent a $93 billion health care marketplace, dispense nearly 40% of all retail prescriptions, and employ more than 315,000 people, including 62,400 pharmacists. Independent community pharmacists are readily accessible medication experts who can help lower health care spending. They are committed to maximizing the appropriate use of lower-cost generic drugs and reducing the estimated $290 billion that is wasted annually by improper medication use.

Since l have a 3 year old that asks millons of questions about everything, adult questions can be a relief for me to answer, but everyone's different when it comes to annoying questions.
Maybe I'm just too touchy but, are there questions that you hate being asked? Are you daily bombarded with silly questions wich deserve the silliest answers? If you suffer from this too, please share your burden here.
Some of my most hated questions...
At work, a usual one:
- Is this the price? (... No, that's my telephone number... no no wait! I think it's the winning combination of last night's Lotto...)
- Do you think it's gonna rain? ( ... what do you think I am? a barometer? and why do you want to know? do you have an orchard you have to take care of? are you planning going to the beach?...)
A recurrent question my colleague is very given to formulate to me:
- Wouldn't you happen to have (insert unusual artifact here, yesterday it was a magnifying glass but she always comes with the strangest ones) by chance? (what? why would I?... now that you are at it look into my handbag, I think I have a roast chicken and pair of bongos just in case you needed them...)
Oh well... that's life I suppose...
Since l have a 3 year old that asks millons of questions about everything, adult questions can be a relief for me to answer, but everyone's different when it comes to annoying questions.
Are there silly questions?
I guess not, just silly answers.
Yes, but there wouldn't be silly answers if there weren't silly questions.
I used to work in Asda'Walmart and we had to wear bright green uniforms with Asda wrote on the back sleeves well just about everywhere visable and would you believe it people would come upto you whilst working on the shop floor and ask " do you work here " !!!!!!! I felt like saying no I just love walking round in this bright green uniform looking like a right plonker
Yesterday was the past and tomorrow is the future but today is the present ..thats why we call it the gift"
"Never listen to a liar it takes too long to find out the truth and my time is too precious"
"Without you I am only half of me"
Nice one Donut. I'm guessing you work in retail so I sympathise with you. You must have the patience of a Saint.
From the customers side here are some that annoy me.
" How's your day going?" Excuse me buddy, but you've only been open for 2 hours and I've only been up for 3. Would you like me to come back right on closing and give you all the details? Duh!!
"What are your plans for the day" Sometimes I feel like coming back with "Why? What've you got in mind?" Only to the ladies though.
And the clincher is when I go to my Doctor and she say's "And how are you today?"
Hey! I didn't know this was self diagnosis week!!
I know it's only customer relations Donut. But you guys do come out with the strangest things. What happened to a simple "Hello" and "Call again" ?
Now I feel better knowing I'm not alone. It's not an exclusive work happening though, I'll be posting more from family and friends when I remember them.
When you are doing something and someone will walk up and see exactly what you are doing and say to you "Hey, what are you doing" its like can you not see what I'm doing...lame way to start off a convo....
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
Well you just said there are no silly questions? But I'm sure you know best.
all the goons I left behind, memories still linger..
This is not really a silly question but a silly statement that I often hear from parents in school. They will call me at school and say,"My child is not in school today so you do not have to put him on the bus."....I mean really????
Stupid questions asked me at Graceland:
1. Is Jessie his Dog?
2. Gladys, wasn't that his wife?
3. Elvis was a twin? Born on the same day and everything? (Asked by a member of the Beach Boys as they came through Meditation Garden.)
1. "Are you growing a beard?" (When I haven't shaved for a few days).
2. "Is it raining outside?" (What, as opposed to raining inside?)
3. This is an Australian trait, but some Aussies tend to state the obvious when coming across certain situations. For instance, if an Australian finds you enjoying yourself in the water, they're likely to ask "Having a swim, eh?" Or if you're covered in blood and screaming in agony, you'll likely hear "Did you hurt yourself, eh?"

This weekend, Tim Gunn talked to CNN about marriage equality, Christine Quinn's campaign for NYC mayor, and his long-time single status.
Although the fashion guru supports marriage equality, he has no plans to get hitched anytime soon. He's happy flying solo.
He explained, "It's not like there's no one good enough, or that I wouldn't want to share my life with anyone. It's just that I'm very content being with me ... I'm not without feelings and emotions. There just isn't another person involved."
Victor Blackwell asked, "You like being alone? Or you like being with yourself?"
Tim answered, "I like being with myself. Thank you for making the distinction!"
The "Project Runway" mentor has been celibate for more than 30 years. His last serious relationship was during the '80s, at the height of the AIDS scare. His then-partner had confessed to "sleeping around," potentially exposing him to the deadly disease. Looks like Tim was turned off from dating after that!
The Emmy Award nominee is not the only one who has been opening up about being single.
Check out who else has been talking about their dating life (or lack thereof)!
Nina Dobrev
After her breakup with her boyfriend of three years, Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev seems to be taking her time before she jumps into another relationship.
The "Vampire Diaries" star talked to Cosmopolitan about what she's looking for in a guy. "You either have chemistry or you don't, but a lot of what attracts me is a guy's mind and humor and talent. I need to get to know all those things before I fall for someone. I'm not a one-night stand kind of girl. I'm a relationship girl."
One of the positives that she took from her breakup was her new friendship with Julianne Hough. The gal pals became close after they both found themselves single around the same time. However, Nina insists that their friendship isn't based on their relationship status.
As she explains, "That's not what our friendship is about. Unfortunately, that's how it's perceived, but there's more to us. It's been cool to find an active buddy - there are lots of girlie girls around. We don't talk about makeup; we talk about life."
Chris Brown
Chris Brown insists that although he remains close with his exes, Rihanna and Karrueche Tran, he is not exclusively dating anyone right now.
As he told Hollywood Life two weeks ago, "[Fans have] seen me on and off again with different girls, you know who they are, but right now, as a 24-year-old man, I just choose to be single! I'm still good friends with them. [Now] it's just me being focused with my music and doing this stuff. Right now, I'm in my prime."
Of course, we don't know how long his music career will last. This morning, the R&B singer announced that his upcoming album, "Album X," would be his last.
As he tweeted, "Don't worry mainstream America. After this X album, it'll probably be my last album. Being famous is amazing when it's for ur music and talent. I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I'm cool & over it!"
Selena Gomez
Who knows what's going on with Selena Gomez and her ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber? On July 27, he attended her 21st birthday party. Us Weekly reports that the Biebs flew in to Malibu specifically for the event, and that he had arrived with a single red rose in his hand.
Still, the "Come And Get It" singer insists that she is single.
"I've known him for a really long time and we enjoy each other's company every now and then. But I'm definitely single and enjoying being that," she said.
Taylor Swift
Selena also had high praise for her pal, Taylor Swift.
"Taylor's been one of the strongest people I've ever known and she's been through a lot" she said. "Honestly I think if anything I aspire to be her in her personal life and how she handles herself publicly."
Despite Taylor's reputation for having a lot of exes, she actually seems to be taking a break from dating. She hasn't been in a serious relationship since her breakup with Harry Styles last spring.
Back in May, at the Billboard Music Awards, the "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together Again" singer poked fun at her own dating life, telling her fans, "you are the longest and best relationship I've ever had."
Vinny Guadagnino
Vinny Guadagnino seems frustrated with the nature of relationships in general as well. Last month, in an Instagram video, the former "Jersey Shore" star ranted, "When I see a cute couple, I'm like 'aw I wish I had a girlfriend.' When I have a girlfriend, I'm like, 'f. you, you f-n b-tch! I hate you! I hate you!"

Mar 25, 2010
Last week, the blogosphere had something in common with the mainstream media. As the health care bill moved toward House passage, both devoted unprecedented levels of attention to the issue. The difference was that while the traditional press was focused largely on political strategy and counting votes, bloggers sounded off about the bill itself and the legislative process.
From March 15-19, fully 56% of the week's links in the blogosphere were about the health care issue, according to the New Media Index from the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. That was five times bigger than the next story and the highest level of interest in the subject since PEJ began tracking social media in January 2009.
In addition, it represents the most attention bloggers have paid to any topic since June 15-19, 2009, when the post-election protests in Iran made up 63% of the week's links.
Throughout the course of the week, bloggers highlighted a number of aspects of the reform debate, many of which originated from opinion pieces first appearing in the Washington Post. These included a column by the former editor of the New York Times criticizing coverage by Fox News, a warning from Democratic pollsters about the dangers of ignoring public opposition, and a column from a Republican House member suggesting a different path for health reform.

Meet the candidates in uncontested D300 election
By Emily McFarlan Miller firstname.lastname@example.com January 5, 2013 3:22PM
Kathleen Burley
Article Extras
Updated: February 7, 2013 6:34AM
CARPENTERSVILLE — Meet your new Board of Education members in Community Unit School District 300.
No, you didn't miss an election — that's not until April.
But only three candidates turned in packets to run for the school board this spring, and there are exactly three open seats on the board.
That means as long as each candidate gets just one vote during the election, board members Anne Miller and Dave Alessio and newcomer Kathleen Burley will be seated on the board.
Miller, president and most veteran member of the District 300 Board of Education, said that's not the first time a school board election has been uncontested. That happened at least twice in recent memory: in November 1997 and April 2005, she said.
But Burley said, "It kind of takes the wind out of our sails."
"It's nice that it was an easy win, but now I feel like I have to prove myself to make sure I was worthy to be here," Burley said.
Miller, Dave Alessio and Karen Roeckner's seats, all four-year terms, are up for election this spring.
A total six area residents had picked up packets to run for the school board, either for themselves or others, according to the district.
That includes Tom Mitchell of Hampshire; District 300 African American Parent Advisory Council founder and president Paul Dodson of Algonquin; and board member Joe Stevens of Algonquin. Stevens' term expires in 2015, but he said he had picked up the packet for Roeckner at her request.
Roeckner told The Courier-News Friday she ultimately decided not to seek a third term on the school board "as I do believe that we need new people to come on to the board and that there really should be term limits on board members."
The board also needs a balance of members who have children enrolled in District 300, she said. Currently, only board members Alessio and Steve Fiorentino have children in district schools
Kathleen Burley
Burley agreed: "I just don't think we have enough parental input on the school board right now."
That's part of the reason the longtime parent volunteer decided to run for the school board this spring, she said: The oldest of her three children just graduated from Jacobs High School in Algonquin, and the others are students at Jacobs and Westfield Community School, also in Algonquin.
Burley has been involved in District 300 since she and her family moved to Algonquin, where she works part time as a retail merchandiser for Foster Grant. Her oldest son then was a preschooler at the deLacey Family Education Center in Carpentersville, she said.
She's been a member of the parent-teacher organization at deLacey and the school improvement team at Neubert Elementary School in Algonquin and co-chaired the district's attendance boundary committee in the early 2000s, she said. Most recently, she was outspoken during the district's legislative battle to end the economic development area around the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates.
And now that her children are a little older and there's not much she can do at their respective schools, she said, "I feel like I've come full circle."
"It seems like the next logical step for me to join the school board," she said.
Burley said her first love is early childhood education because of how it benefitted her son at deLacey, and she also hopes to be "a fresh pair of eyes" on the board.
Anne Miller
Miller first was elected to the school board in 1997, and she decided to run again because she said she believes she brings value to the board, the district and the community.
"I think a level of stability and continuity is important for the district to continue to move forward with improvements and maintain fiscal responsibility," she said.
That includes constantly working with unknowns from the state while maintaining a balanced budget, she said. In the coming year, that also will include implementing the new teachers contract, transitioning high school to a nine-period day and exploring and possibly implementing boundary changes, part of bringing down the district's large class sizes, she said.
She lives in Algonquin, where she is a senior vice president for Novare, Inc.
Dave Alessio
Alessio also agreed he'd like to "see through some of the changes coming up."
Among those changes, he said, boundary changes would be a "logistical puzzle," and the district's bond payments are set to increase in the next few years. State legislators also still are considering pension reform, something he said the district will have to react to.
Alessio, who works as an electronics engineer in the cellular industry, was a board member in 2006, then elected to a full term in 2009. He also lives in Algonquin, and while no more than three board members can live in the same township, he lives not in Algonquin Township, but in Dundee Township.
"I'm looking forward to another term. I'm looking forward to working with all the groups in the district," he said.
"The district is still growing, and there always are challenges, but I feel we're making progress."

Project Instructions
Remove the rhinestone accents from the ends of the silver chain. Remove one strand of the silver rolo chain from the second silver chain and attach where the rhinestone accents were removed.
Remove the lids from the two silver tin boxes as these will not be used in the project. One of the bottom tins already has two holes punched into it with loops. For the other silver tin bottom, punch a hole in the opposite side using the long nose hole punch pliers.
Insert a head pin through the hole. Using the round nose pliers, bend the head pin at a 45° angle. Using the side cutters, trim the head pin to about ¼". Using the round nose pliers, make a simple loop.
Trace the silver tin box onto the paper adhesive tape. Cut out with scissors. Peel adhesive off and stick to the bottom of the tin. Repeat with other tin.
Cut the loop off the back of two vintage button charms using the heavy duty side cutter pliers. File the sharp edges flush using the square needle file. Glue each charm to the inside of the tins using E-6000 craft adhesive. Let dry.
Mixing the Resin: Pour 10ml of part A and 5ml of part B into the mixing cup. Stir slowly for 2½ minutes. Let resin sit for 5 minutes to allow any air bubbles to rise.
Slowly fill each silver tin box about 1/3 of the way. Let dry for 48 hours at room temperature.
Cut two pieces of rhinestone tape, about 1½" long. Wrap around the top edge of each of the tins.
Attach the resin filled tins and the rhinestone charm to the middle of the rolo chain on the bottom part of the necklace.
Cut 6" strands of assorted fibers. Gather strands and tie around the jump ring on the end of the layered chains.
Attach spring ring closure to the necklace.

About me Who what how
I'm Matt. Or Trent. Or Matt Trent. I'm many places, but often found in San Francisco. I'm interested in nearly everything, most notably cooking, learning and creating new technology.
I'm a cross between a research scientist and a software developer. Practically, that means I do some combination of: observe and model phenomena, design algorithms based on said models, and craft usable implementations of those algorithms. My background is a mix of image processing, human visual perception and developing for new hardware and mobile platforms. I'm interested in machine learning, data analysis, sensors and how those will impact health and wellness.
Currently, I work at Adobe on mobile photography and data applications. Previously, I've worked with companies large and small, including Dolby, Pocket Pixels, BrightSide Techonologies and Mobify. If you're interested in what I can do, check out my curriculum vitae.
My Ph.D. thesis examined how our perception of images changes with their size and produced several methods to control how the image appears. I think it's pretty cool that machines can use knowledge of how we see to create better images for us.
I'm an avid biohacker and self-experimenter. I've benefited from taking the scientific approach out of the lab and applying it to everyday life. I feel it's not only important to collect data, but to distill it into actionable information. I was the Vancouver Quantified Self organizer, when I still lived there.
I really do like cooking.
I'm also an occasional world-traveller, photographer, martial artist, cyclist, miscreant, vagabond and wanna-be jalopy-racer. These and other activies have thus far occupied my time on this planet for the last 32.86 years.
Projects New or notable
Effective machine learning combines the right algorithm with features that accurately capture the interesting aspects of the data. At PyData NYC 2013, I presented a number of ways to extract features from images using Python tools that can be readily used by developers familiar classification and clustering algorithms.
Top-selling selective desaturation photography for iPhone and iPad. Working with Pocket Pixels, I redesigned the app's graphics framework. Based on GPU acceleration, the latest version includes interactive image adjustments and faster performance. After release, the app rose to #6 in the US store.
My doctoral research examined ways in which perception of images changes when they are viewed at different sizes. Due to the organization of the visual system, the appearance of blurred and sharpened edges depends on the width of the edge. Besides the study, we propose several methods to address the change.
I've been fascinated with focus and attention, both how they work and how they affect our day-to-day lives. I've conducted a few experiments to see how I spend my time on, and what changes in my daily routine affect my ability to focus. Herein contains some notes from a session I moderated.
